HarmonicEQ® Evolution
Carnaby HE2 is a 2u 19-Inch rack stereo 3-band parametric EQ – an evolution of our Carnaby 500.
Carnaby
HE2 HarmonicEQ® utilises the same unique and revolutionary EQ concept
found in Carnaby 500, using harmonic saturation to boost and cut
frequency content. Enhance your sources, stems and mixes with genuine
analogue harmonic saturation with the feel, familiarity, and control of
an equaliser. Explore how we take this concept even further.

specifications are typical performance unless otherwise noted. All
specifications are subject to change at any time. Tested with Audio
Precision APx555.
